sailormatlac (hace 3 días) #31507560I took a look on AmiAmi today and the Griffon products release date is now a generic "Spring 2018". I'm curious why it isn't alright cancelled... but I guess even distributors are left in the dark.

I don't care if it takes another year for this figure to be released, but I do agree that it does look pretty grim :(
Nippon Yasan is shifting the release date every single month, and HLJ seems to have it june 30th.

Kaneel (Hace 1 mes) #30904525I've seen the issue with the grand-toys site.
Some japanese figure info blogs caught on it before new year, even griffon's site was down for a while ._.

Thanks for the news. It looks quite grim. I recall trying to access Grand Toys website before Christmas and it was already down. Are their other non-figure activities still running? I tried accessing their other websites, but none worked.

Kaneel (Hace 1 mes) #30905113Uh, where to start.
Some time in 2015 it was noticed that Griffon disappeared completly from events, there was no activity on their site anymore, no more updates and well people started to wonder what's up with them.
To a point where it was assumed they where dead.
Mind you, they started to drag things way before that with heaps of unfinished teaser and projects and whatnot.
Then suddenly they came back in summer 2016 with a new 3d gallery project for figures and on an event in december of that year they suddenly had big reveal of new figures and projects together with the brand/maker Grand Toys.
Of course people where sceptical, but on the other hand they often got license for series no one else did so it was a mixed bag.
Some of these new projects where released like the Highschool DxD Akeno and Grias, which from the comments and price surge after the 1st release did seem to fare well enough.
From their old figures which where up for pre-order before that, only about five managed to be released.
We got some cancelled figures like ITEM #190399 or ITEM #191491 but some are still in limbo as of speaking with people having pre-ordered them years ago by now like ITEM #167093 or ITEM #154590
Thanks for the explanation! Now I really hope that this figure will be released, but I fear it will be cancelled :(

I haven't heard about this, but what happend the last time Griffon blew up? Did al figure releases get cancelled, or postponed until the company got sorted?

This all sounds pretty serious... :'(
I really hope this figure will get released at one point. At the moment this is the only figure I'm actually excited about, so I don't really care about the rest.

xTAZORx (Hace 1 mes) #30904467I hope so too xD...
I don't know if it's anything to go by, but Griffon's domain for Grand-toys is on sale.
I also tried emailing them but I don't have much hope to get an answer at all.Kaneel (Hace 1 mes) #30904451I can only hope that they will be released at all.
Otherwise this would be the second time Griffon blows up and i don't believe they can gather the trust back from us then.
